Grilled Halloumi Pitta Pocket
On Good Friday a lot of people choose not to eat meat. I love vegetarian food and this is one of my favourite lunches. Try this today for a pre-easter meat free option. If you don’t like Preserved Lemons, replace them with Chilli Sauce or Cucumber in the Mayonnaise. My beautiful wood board is from ShackValley on Etsy.
